Earlier this month Funcom, the developer of Secret World announced earlier this month that sales where not going good and that "cost cutting measures" would be taking place soon. Ok, so maybe shut down a few servers, nope, they layed off around 50% of its staff. Funcom will be keeping as much of the original production team around to follow up with addons in the future.

The Digging Deeper add-on for The Secret World will now be delayed until sept 11. This add-on was bringing the ability to change your appearance and hair by adding plastic surgeons to the game. The layoff of employees had a direct impact of the update coming out late.
